Got back to Darren's flat around 10pm last night after fantaqstic time in Paris. We had an amazing thunderstorm in the early hours of Thursday morning. We spent the day at Versailles and this left us in no doubt about why France no longer has a monarchy! It was beautiful though... We did get a bit wet because it rained intermittently but it was a nice trip out into the country. We had a very pleasant dinner at the hotel and then spent Friday morning at the Jewish memorial in Paris which was also a very worthwhile visit. We lunched outside the Hotel de Ville and then I wandered the shopping streets and Darren went sightseeing. I ended up in Gallerie La Fayette but there was so much choice I found it impossible to make up my mind what to buy you all... This is also the case here - I can't cope with the choice in the shops. Hong Kong is going to have to be deovted to shopping!
So tonight Darren is off to Worthing for dinner and lunch tomorrow and will return tomorrow evening. The ex girlfriends are taking me out to a show and piano bar afterwards so that will be fun. I was supposed to meet up with `Liam and sunita tomorrow but I seem to have mislaid his number so wont be able to do that. I am sure that I will find lots to do.
Darren is back to work on Monday but I will meet him for lunch along with Sue - one of my team from Wellington who is out here attending weddings. Hopefully we will go back to Wagamamas in the evening for dinner which is lovely down by the river.
I am sorry to hear that the cats are causing strife and pong - Oh dear! I have missed them not many cats around here and not nearly as many silky little dogs in Paris as I remember from previous visits - I wonder what has happened to them?
Having not seen or heard any news for several days I gather Russia is about to invade Georgia and the Olympics is in full swing - so hope the world keeps turning for a few more days yet!
Best wishes to all.
